IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-CONDENSERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 220.054. datedSeptember 30, 1879; application filed January 21, 1879; patented inFrance, May 4, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ADOLPHE FRANgoIs OARON and EDWARD J ULIEN, ofParis, France, have invented a new Improvement in Steam- Oondensers,(patented in France, May 4,1878;) and we do hereby declare thefollowing, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings andthe letters-of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of thisspecification.

Our invention consists in an improved system for condensing vapor inmachines, or vapor in general.

By our system there is no waste of water, the exhaust-steam is entirelycondensed, it is always the same water which forms the vapor that worksupon the piston of the motive power so condensed, and it is returned tothe generator for being converted anew into vapor.

In the annexed drawings, our condenser is represented in verticalsection, Figure 1. It is composed of a receiver, A, of copper or othermetal, supported in the center of a tank,B B, filled with water. Thepart B represents a depressed chamber in the bottom of the receiver.

The water in the tank should be at a temperature so as to produce goodcondensation, as the water of the condenser must be cooled below 100.

The receiver A is provided with one or more tubes, O, which open aboveinto the atmosphere. These tubes are provided at their upper end s withperforated covers to prevent the of the tube O.

The condensed water returns by the pipe D, and returns to the pump ofthe generator. (Represented in longitudinal section, Fig. 2,and in planview in Fig. 3.) I tiscomposed of a cylinder, E, in which is a piston,F, provided at its lower end with a hard india-rubberinverted-cup-shaped packing, a, fastened by-a screw, b. The cylinder Ecommunicates with the valve-box G, which has the inlet-valve o and theoutlet-valve d. The water comes from the condenser by the pipe D, and isforced by the pump through the pipe f into the generator.

The piston F is operated by a pitman, H, which receives its motion fromany suitable power.

We claim- The combination of the tank B, arranged in the receiver A,having inlet 0, outlet 01, open tube 0, pump E, and intermediate valves,G, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specificationbefore two subscribing witnesses.
